Steam's weekly sales charts, which are updated weekly, represent a trend among players. Through this list, you can see the most popular game categories recently. After yesterday's list was announced, a new game appeared in second place on the list (excluding the Steam handheld at the top of the list), and it was the new ARPG developed by Moon Studios, "Malicious Spirit".
Previously, the "Ori" series, which relied on the gameplay of Metroidvania, Moon Studios was a great success. But this time they chose to step out of their comfort zone and launched a 3D top-down ARPG action game. Since its debut last Friday, the game has been running a lot of buzz. The evaluation has also increased from 58% at the time of the debut to 70% now.
At the beginning of the release of this work,Because the optimization of the game is too poor (recommended configuration3070Graphics card)It greatly affects the evaluation given by players.,The sinicization in many places is incomplete.。
The most outrageous thing is that the Chinese version of the equipment entry does not see negative effects, and players have to switch to the Japanese and English versions to know the specific effects of the equipment.
Small problems such as too high drop damage per capita Geralt and map bugs are endless. Compared with the high difficulty set by the enemy, various small questions bring more trouble to the player. Fortunately, the production team saw everything in their eyes and showed a high enough sincerity.
From the launch of the EA version on April 19 to today, "Malicious Instinence" has only been online for five days. At a rate of almost one update per day, the production team optimized a huge amount of content. The problem of sinicization of equipment entries,It was solved in the update on the second day.。 The threshold for using some equipment has also been lowered, further reducing the difficulty. Over the past few days, the quality of the game has been visibly improving.
Not only that, Thomas Mahler, CEO of Moon Studios, also released a machine-translated Chinese tweet today, expressing the importance of Chinese players. The tweet mentioned the previous issue of the localization of equipment entries, and also hoped that Chinese players could directly feedback if they had any questions and comments about the game content, "We will ensure that the problem is resolved as soon as possible." ”
Thomas Mahler's mention of the large number of bad reviews for "Malicious Instinence" comes from Chinese players, and it is not groundless. According to statistics,40.18% of the negative reviews of this work come from the simplified Chinese version。 Chinese players are quite sensitive to the reasons for the localization of games, and a few months ago, Polish manufacturers put the localization of games in the first place when discussing how to make games that are popular with Chinese players.
As a game that is still in the EA version, there are still many problems with "Malicious Insatiation" that needs to be optimized. For example, the specific description of weapon skills has not yet been launched. However, the EA test itself is a process of patching and patching. If you can't accept it, you can also choose to start after the official version is launched.
As for the prospect of "Bad Faith", Thomas Mahler, as the CEO of the studio, is still very confident. As early as the day after the game's release, he said that its Steam praise rate would increase from 58% to 90%. In five days, the review entries of "Malicious Insistence" have changed from "mixed reviews" to "mostly praised", and we look forward to the day when it can reach "rave reviews" in the future.
